BROCKTON - A Brockton man was arrested Wednesday night after police said he threatened his wife with a dagger and shoved a door into her knee as she was trying to barricade herself in a bedroom, police said.

Darryl P. Wynn, 50, of Oneida Avenue, Brockton was charged with two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, carrying a dangerous weapon, assault and battery and threatening to commit a crime.

Brockton Police Lt. Robert Sergio said the couple began arguing around 7:20 p.m. Wednesday when Wynn took out a cane with a 16-18 inch dagger concealed inside. Wynn took the blade out and waved it at his wife and was screaming threats at her.

The victim ran to a nearby bedroom to barricade herself and police said Wynn "smashed" the door into her knee, injuring her left leg.

"He kept trying to get into the bedroom and when police arrived he was placed under arrest," Sergio said.

Wynn was arraigned Thursday at Brockton District Court and was ordered held on $2,000 bail. He is due back in court April 15.
